Poster Girl - Is it as good as the Poster Boyz?




Poster Girl is a sequel to the marathi movie Poster Boyz releases in..  Directed by the same director i.e. Samir Patil, it's technically not a sequel as they don't have any plot continuity. The first part dealt with the novel topic of awareness and misconceptions about vasectomies in the rural male population. It was a nice concept and pretty well executed. Does the second part deliver as the first one?  Read on to find out.

The plot is based in a small village in western Maharashtra called Paragao-Tekawde, ill-famous for female feticide to such an extent that there are no girls in the village. So much so that even the Vitthal temple lacks the Rukhmai idol as its companion. Given this situation the village is full of (in)eligible bachelors who haven't seen a young girl since ages. That explains the social awkwardness towards the opposite sex in these boys/men. In comes Rupali (Sonalee Kulkarni) and the village goes bezerk. All the men in the men try to woo her with their own quirky ways. The plot goes well until the interval after which the director tries to highlight another issue drifting from the original plotline. Although he does manage to present it well, he should have skipped that part and focused on one point. 


Sonalee as the poster girl is perfect! The five (in) eligible bachelors played by Jitendra Joshi,  Aniket  Vishwasrao, Sandeep Pathak , Siddharth Menon , Akshay Tanksale act well. The support cast in the form of Hrishikesh Joshi, Vaibhav Mangle are good too. The movie is produced by Viacom , hence the production value is good too. The songs by Amit-Raj are nice, especially the DJ song. 



Overall it's definitely a one time watch. 



P.S. Eagerly waiting for Nagraj Manjule's Sairat. Although Fandry won lot of critical acclaim it failed to connect to the masses. Hopefully this one is different in this regard.
